The cast members of the hit Netflix series “ Selling the OC ” are stars in their own right—yet their work often sees them at the beck and call of some very major celebrities and other big-time clients, who often come with some rather large demands.
On Season 4 of the show , which debuted in November, luxury real estate agent Kaylee Ricciardi reveals she's working with a famous buyer, music producer and DJ, Diplo , helping him to find a private sanctuary in Southern California where he can both retreat and record music.
Throughout that same time period, Ricciardi built a reputation in real estate by specializing in high-end, short-term rentals for clients attending popular music festivals.
“I got my start out of Coachella doing luxury vacation rentals, and that snowballed into me getting my license about five years ago now,” she explains. “This niche has allowed me to create a network from celebrities to the biggest CEOs in the world.”
Diplo, who has made music with Beyoncé , Justin Bieber , and Madonna , is one of Ricciardi's most well-known clients; however, the Newport Beach-based agent hopes to represent more famous faces in the future.
Though Diplo did not end up purchasing the $13 million Malibu mansion he toured with Ricciardi on the show, he is still collaborating with her on locating the perfect property.
“We're still actively looking,” Ricciardi reveals to Realtor.com® . “He has very specific needs, including wanting an ADU he can convert into a studio.
“He's also looking for something similar to his Pompeii property in Jamaica—somewhere he can live when he wants, rent out to select clients, and use as a creative space. We're just focused on finding the perfect fit for him.”
During her scene with Diplo on “Selling the OC,” Ricciardi admits that working with her friend made the whole house tour process “so much more fun than it normally is” because as it turns out, many of her high-end clients tend to have unrealistically high expectations for what she can and should deliver.
